Deputy President William Ruto on Friday publicly pleaded with his boss Uhuru Kenyatta to step back and allow him to face ODM boss Raila Odinga.
Apprehensive of the President’s power, the DP begged Uhuru to avoid unleashing his sword on him even though their friendship had crossed the Rubicon.
This was the first time that Ruto was openly pleading with President Kenyatta not to go for the jugular after an acrimonious split.
